CALLED TO SERVICE.
Last Friday Uncle Sain knocked ai
the doors of more than a million
homes in America and announced that
within the next few days or weeks he
wculd take from each, except for cer
tain good reasons prevailing, one or
more young men for service "some
where in France." It was a shock —a
somewhat sudden awakening, with a
s.ckening sense of an awful war pre
vailing.
Ere long he will go along that same
wy again, touch on the shoulder of
687,000 or some similar number of
men. and direct them to "follow me."
We have no fear that there will be
faltering spirits among these young
Americans. They have contemplated
it for months, have gone about their
business and in the meantime deter
mined that should they be called to
the colors they would answer that
call in the same manner that their
forefathers did in the revolutionary
period, in the war of 1812, in the Mex
ican war, the Civil war and as did
their older brothers in the Spanish
American war.

homes from the altars of which will
go forth pleas ami entreaties. Hearts
will bleed and sad and care worn fac
es will be the distressing sign that a
boy has gone forth to risk bis life for
bis country, that the world may be
made free and that democrat) shall
j rule the earth. We are accustomed to
look for sorrow In the homes of the
|
l poor and for Joy and gladness in the
houses of the rich. But America has
called men to this war from every
walk of life from every section, from
every state and from every precinct,
i Look over the list of the brave men
, of Bartow and witness what equal dis
tribution there has been in the recog
nition of the principle of universal
service. All mothers stand on an equal
footing today because the boys are
i: 11 brothers.
r There is much that can he biid in
comfort for these mothers. Much will
cotne to them without suggestion. The
outstanding fact is that these men
have gone forth in response to duty
to live or die fighting for their coun
try's rights, the rights of man and for
a happier existence for those who are
to follow us in life. Should these men
I come back to their homes, a grateful
people will render unto them all praise
i and glory and will gladly reward and
honor them throughout their lives.
Should they die it will be through the
performance of duty, at their posts,
in defense of their country and how
much more can any man do, even
though he live a thousand years.
There is much for the rest of us to
do. Chief among these things is an
unbegrudging sacrifice of whatever in
money the government calls for an un
stinted support of the Red Cross so
ciety. Let it not be said of America
that it proved to be willing to ha\e
the blood of its young men shed upon
the battlefield but miserly and selfish
in furnishing comfort and medical ser
vice for those toward whom we pro
fess great love.

whole sotiled performance of our part
in support of the government and in
the aid we will give the ministering

The Health of the County.
Among the recommendations made
by the present grand jury, as appears
in the presentments filed, was one of
at exceedingly important nature
wherein it was recommended that a
health commissioner for the county be
api>ointed to put in full force the pres
ent health laws of the state, part of
which is that known as the Ellis
Health Law.
This is a recommendation which Dr.
Hcvyard E. Felton has been seeking to
get from the grand jury for some
time. Dr. Felton Is the chairman of
{he Board of Health of Bartow county
and has seen the importance of an
organized work in the county. This
can only be secured through the ap
pointment of a health commissioner
who would work under the direction
and supervision of the county Board
of Health. No work is more important
nor no governmental function more to
he seously considered than that of
conserving the health of county, mu
nicipality, state or nation, and the
health laws of Georgia, if enforced
under proper direction, would without
doubt save many lives and save the
tax payers a large amount of money
in the eradication of preventablh dis
ease and epidemics.
Under the direction of the county
commissioner there would he main

! able disease and thereby surround the
citrzeiis of the county with a protec
tion which it does not now have. It:
would also establish a system of vital j
j statistics, a registration of births and j
deaths, a thorough and complete re-1
port of all communicable diseases. A j
part of the duties or the health com- j
missioner and of the boat'd is educa- ,
tional in its nature and in many coun
ties lectures ate given in schools and j
in each community and health litera
ture is freely distributed.
It would undertake supervision of
1 all sanitary improvements in towns
i and rural districts and supervise the
i conduct of dairies and home premises,
1 buildings, etc. It would mean a scien
* title and organized eradication of ty
phoid fever, malaria, tuberculosis.,
small pox, diptheria and similar dis
eases, and the people would he taught
themselves how to eradicate and thor
oughly destroy all Hies and mosqui
toes and similar germ-carrying pests.
A perfect system of medical inspec
tion of schools, such as is conducted
in all progressive cities and counties,
would tie devised and maintained, and
every child in the public schools would
i be caused to be separately and care
' fully examined, at least once a year
in every school, to ascertain if he is
suffering from defective sight and
hearing or from any other disability
or defect tending to prevent his re
ceiving the full benefit of his school
work or that which cause an under
minin'.’- of his future health.

; In short, the creation and establish
ment of this office would go far to
ward conserving many lives, toward
! reducing to a minimum the existence
!of all forms of disease and toward
; building up young manhood and young
womanhood to the full vigor of health,
which is the basis of all happiness.
If the succeeding grand jury should
make a similar recommendation, then
1 a health commissioner would bb plac
ed in this county and all the vast ben
efits of the healtti laws of the state,

as well as those of the l Hired States,
v. oold be enjoyed, and it is to le hoped
that the next grand jury will prove it
self to be as progressive and as mind
ful of the best interests of our jieople
as the one whieh has just adjourned,
crowning its work with as wise a rec
ommendation as has been made by a
grand jury in many years.
Exempt Endowment Funds.
There is pending before the legisla
ture at this session a bill to submit a
constitutional amendment exempting
college endowments from taxation.
This subject lias been up through
the past two or three legislatures and
we have been at a loss to understand
why this question has not been allow
ed to go to the people for settlement.
Georgia is the only state in the south,
outside of Florida, which does not ex
empt such property. Thb result is that
our educational advantages are ser
iously crippled in their progress, and.
if we understand the temper of the
people, it is that all forms of education
be given every encouragement, and
especially do we look for that from
the governmental authorities them
selves.
It seems poor policy to us to under
take to collect a reveune from a
species of property which is employed
in the making and equipping of men
and women. Sufficiently equipped, our
men and women will yield to the state,
j through the benefits of education re
! celved, more in return than all the
revenue that could be collected from
such funds. It seems contrary to good
policy to tax educational institutions.
The purpose of the pending act is
to have the people themselves decide
it, and certainly it would be wrong for
! the legislature to withhold from the
people the right to decide that ques
tion which the people themselves have
already decided in nearly all the states
of the union favorable to the exemp
tion.
It is only sought to exept from taxa
tion the endowment funds themselves;
in other words, the contributions giv
